Roseib, thanks so much. For all my reading on this site, I never saw the subforum and will check it out. We have a bit in common. I'm 61 with sleep apnea and have been putting off a recommended knee replacement for about two years. I've been concerned about what I can do for exercise, with the best option appearing to be Water aerobics. May i ask how you have dealt with it? Congratulations on your success to date - I hope I do as well!

Thanks to all for the encouragement. I have been wondering if older folks have experienced slower healing, slower/less weight loss, etc. While we've yet to hear from anyone 60+ who's had the surgery, it doesn't sound like anyone anticipates issues specifically related to age. Hey - maybe I can set some kind of a record for Old Sleeve Rock Star!

I have been reading and learning from all of you for a couple of months now and appreciate the thoughtful support and valuable information .provided by this community. It has played a significant role in my decision to have the surgery. My impression, though, is that most folks who take this step are somewhere in their 20's - 40's. If there's anyone who has experience or perspective on getting sleeved a little later in life (say 60+), I would love to hear it. Thanks!
